No Ozzfest this year...instead we get this
OZZY OSBOURNE is starting a European tour in September with two U.K. headlining shows.
The dates are:
Friday, Sep. 05 – London @ Wembley Arena
Sunday, Sep. 07 - Birmingham @ NEC
Both shows will be OZZY'S first solo headlining shows in the U.K. in eight years and will feature another singing Osbourne, Ozzy's daughter Kelly, who will be the opening act. These shows mark the first time that Ozzy and Kelly have ever performed on the same stage.
The four-band bill will also feature the massive Finnish band H.I.M. and multi-platinum U.S. band GODSMACK.
Says Ozzy: 'I couldn't be happier about doing my own dates in the U.K. and having Kelly on the bill with me. Unfortunately, this means that we won't be bringing Ozzfest to the U.K. this year. When we realized we couldn't get the best bill possible due to many of the bands having previous commitments I decided that this would be a great opportunity to bring my full stage show over to rock the U.K.!"
Tickets for the OZZY dates are priced £32.50 and go on sale 9:00 a.m. on Monday, June 2.

Ozzfest > Show with 4 acts
Especially when one of them is Kelly sodding Osbourne
(personal taste)
-edit- Forgot to add I don't think too much of Godsmack either. I wouldn't go to an Ozzfest to see Ozzy I'd go to see *checks this year's US lineup*...well, only about 5 bands actually. But that's still 5 bands I'd want to see.

But I'm happy with just seeing Ozzy 
I'm gonna get there later so I can have a few beers (seeing as you can't have beer in the arena) and miss the support bands. Plus at the last Ozzfest I was cold, wet and muddy so this will be a treat for me - hee hee.

Harsh!!
A way bad move to have daughter supporting father, and as Spikeo points out, with this replacing Ozzfest (and a lineup that the US has) this is not a good move at all IMO.
On the other hand Godsmack I have got a slight interest in, and if H.I.M's stuff is anything like the track that is being banded around at the moment, then that's not too bad.
The last UK gig that Godsmack did was at The Garage in Highbury, and from what I heard it wasn't a sellout by any means. So this is maybe an indication of what supporting Ozzy will be like.

Well I ordered my tickets and the bloody computer froze. Waiting to hear back as to whether I got through. Bums
{EDIT} I paniced and re-ordered 'cos I couldn't get through to way ahead on the phone (damn Cliff Richard tickets going on sale today ) so now I may have either 2 or 4 tickets arriving.
{ANOTHER EDIT} I didn't double book

*Bump*
Anyone else going to see Ozzy on the 4th? I know me, Yvonne, Ethan & PoF are but just wondered if we would have any more company.
*Goes back to burning an 'essential' Ozzy CD for Y*

Well there's a mate of mine going too, but you don't know him. You will meet him though, and he's cool. When we saw Marilyn Manson he had some random topless girl sat on his shoulders. Just think, that could be you!
